Hanging By a Moment - P10

They both sat next to each other .. The sun was ready to set, the sky was a mixture of blue and orange .. her head on his shoulder and his arm around her .. reminiscing .. laughing .. enjoying their company with each other .. Hamad turned his head to face Nayla ..

Hamad: I can spend the rest of my life getting lost in your eyes

Nayla: I wouldn’t ask for more

Hamad: There’s something on your lips

Nayla: oh ..

Hamad: a kiss that belongs to me

And gently pressed his lips against hers ...

The week passed by very fast .. They saw each other for almost every day .. Spending time together brought back memories ..

Nayla: I don’t want to leave

Hamad: I don’t want you to leave either

Nayla: I need to pack now .. I have to go

Hamad held her wrist and pulled her closer to him ..

Hamad: One last kiss?

Nayla put her finger on his lips: Not just yet

Hamad (smiling): wait til we get married .. You’ll beg me to kiss you

Nayla (giggling): we’ll see about that

Two weeks later

Hamad: El aw’9a3 ma tser fil dawam

3eesa: Eee sema3t el shabab ygolon el shareka bet9ek

Hamad: La enshallah tkoon esha3a o mo akthar .. Mo ma3goola el credit crunch em2ather 3alaina hal kether .. walla 3eeso a7es el denya 9aka feeni

Hamad: Mashkoor Bu sa3ad .. Ma3a el salama

Hamad left his work place with tears filling up his eyes .. The sun was hotter than ever .. He felt like he couldn’t breathe .. He sat in his car .. Turned the AC to high and placed his head on his steering wheel .. He won’t be able to get married to Nayla without a job .. He can’t rely on his father’s money .. Bader is after Nayla .. What is he going to do? No one is employing at this time .. His phone rang .. It was Nayla .. He put his phone on silent and decided not to answer

Bu Hamad: Shlon y3ni tefanasht?

Hamad: Yuba el shareka 5asrana o ma bel yad 7eela

Bu Hamad: Enzain 8adem ay mekan thani

Rawan walked in with the bukhoor for Hamad

Hamad: Mashkoora

Rawan hugged her brother and whispered in his ear: Dam3etek ‘3alya

Bu AbdulRahman’s house looked beautiful .. The lights on the house, the music was playing, the happy faces that were entering, colourful dresses girls wore

Reem: Nayla tyaneneen

Nayla: Galbi tega6a3 3ala 7amad

Reem: Kelha shway o enty 3ala themat rayal

Nayla (Sigh)

Voices from downstairs: Alf el 9alat o elsalam 3alaik ya 7abeeb Allah m7amad

Dalal walked in: Nayla 7abeebti mabrook

Nayla (fake smile): emlechaw?

Dalal: Ee 7abeebti

Nayla dropped a tear .. Dalal lifted Nayla’s head and said “Rabech kareem”

----------------------------------

Hamad walked in the Maylas .. Everyone was congratulating Bader .. The happiest day in Bader’s life was the most hurtful day for Hamad

Hamad: Mabrook

Bader (smiling): Allah ybarek fi 7ayatek

Hamad walked out to his car with tears ready to run down his cheeks .. Salman saw him on his way out

Salman: Hamad .. Hamaad

Hamad ignored him and got into his car .. He put his gear on D and saw the mesba7 she gave him wrapped around it.. he grabbed it and threw it out the window ..

مبروك عرسك يوم جالـك نصيبـك
مبروك للي يسعـد بشـوف لقيـاك 

*******

شفت القدر ماحقـق انـي اجيبـك
ولاحقق انـي التقـي يـوم ويـااك

*******

افرح على شوفك ولابغـى مغيبـك
وامسي على طيفك واصبح لطريـاك

*******

ابـوك وامـك اجبرونـي اسيبـك
وخلوني ارحل من حياتـك ودنيـاك

*******

وين انت .؟ ياللي خاطري مهتني بك
وزهـرة شبابـي مازهتنـي بليـاك

*******

القلب ياقلبـي تـرى هـو قريبـك
سير عليه وشـوف تالـي بقايـاك

*******

به صورتك دايـم ودمعـة حبيبـك
والقلب ياقـف يـوم يفقـد محيـاك

*******

لكن قـدر ربـي وحكمـه يصيبـك
تغيب واذكر غيبتـك مـع هدايـاك
